The Vector tank is PN# 1430 and it is a completely different shape as far as the length and width and will not fit into the area provided on the radio tray.
I have both of these tanks in stock in case you can't fix what you have.
Happy New Year!

I bought it on my lhs
anyway
I'm mounting a Mega ZX21 DSII on the Vector Chassis and I've got a problem. The bottom of the crankcase is touching the chassis.. The manual says it cannot touch but don't explain how to solve it.
What should I do?

I have some Kyosho shims 3x5mm 0.1 0.2 and 0.3mm of thickness. hmm.. do you mean place them between the engine "support" and engine mount?
If that don't work I will try to grind it a little, I will try that for last.. I'm hesitating for this alternative because I think it will take rigidity of the chassis and make it weak, not sure
Thanks guys!!
I'm waiting your test Roniel
see you

This same problem rised whit the EVO5 engine, which also has a bigger crankcase, with the EVO5 a new set of engine blocks where introduced, so maybe you should mount the ZX on these.....
I think you need a set off these:

No the monoblock does not work its about 5MM short...

Its also better not to use the monoblock! A monoblock will restrict the max rpms due to vibrations....

Developments
There are a lot of things to learn and therefore a lot of new developments.
Here is one of them http://www.serpent.com/product/903220
Smaller bearings have a smaller contact footprint and less rotation-mass. This results in a smoother and lighter rotation. On the other side it will also reduce about 30 grams of overall weight.
Stay tuned, other developments are on track....

But Pieter, you might have a point there.....
But a monoblock also makes the area around the engine a lot stiffer, which then eliminates as much as possible any stress on the crankcase.....
So in the end......

...So in the end martin ... we broke the monoblock down to two pieces and gained about 1,5k-rpm. Stiffer on this block is BAD!
